They are 3" springs with an extra 100lbs of weight capacity built in. They are replacing my old and tired bastard packs. Unfortunately, they will have to wait to be installed until next weekend (I'm waiting on some bump stop extensions to get here and a few more odds and ends.

I'll be sure to let you guys know how they ride, and will attempt to get plenty of pics of the swap.
I was just about ready to get a set of BDS 3" leafs for around $400 shipped when I stumbled across these on Ebay. They were asking $300 plus another $89 for shipping. I offered them $325 total (they only had to ship from GJ CO to Helena MT) and they accepted.
I'm pretty excited. I've been running a bastard pack for a few years now, and while it rode better than the OEM springs in the beginning, the ride and flex has really gone downhill. I'm sure these will be more than sufficient for my needs.

I've got the same springs so please take my advice, ditch the poly bushings. The ride will be much better and quieter with OEM style rubber bushings. Stock bushings fit perfectly.

Thanks Frank! I was wondering about the poly bushings. I'll be sure to swap those out to new OEM rubber style.
